About Russel Hills

The Russel Hills are a small mountain range located in the north-central region of New Mexico. The range is characterized by rugged, rocky terrain with steep slopes and narrow canyons. The landscape is dominated by pinyon-juniper woodlands, with pockets of ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests at higher elevations.
